Providing approximately 15% of the domestic copper demand, Kennecott Utah Copper LLC (KUC), a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, is the second largest copper producer in the United States. The copper is mined, concentrated, smelted and refined at KUC's facilities west of Salt Lake City and delivered to our customers by rail. In an industry marked by boom and bust in business cycles, KUC has reliably provided copper to its customers for over one hundred years. KUC's Bingham Canyon Mine is the world's largest man-made excavation and the first open-pit - about ¾ of a mile deep and 2 ¾ miles across at the top. After demolition, the low grade ore - about 0.6% - is scooped up by electric shovels up to 98 tons at a time, crushed in the pit and then sent on a five mile journey by conveyor belt to KUC's Copperton Concentrator.
